BACnet_Program

The Program object type (WinCC OA datapoint type) defines a standardized object whose properties represent the externally visible characteristics of an application program. In this context, an application program is an abstract representation of a process within a BACnet Device, which is executing a particular body of instructions that act upon a particular collection of data structures.

The Program object provides a network-visible view of selected parameters of an application program in the form of properties of the Program object. Some of these properties are specified in the standard and exhibit a consistent behavior across different BACnet Devices. The operating state of the process that executes the application program may be viewed and controlled through these standardized properties, which are required for all Program objects. In addition to these standardized properties, a Program object may also provide vendor-specific properties. These vendor-specific properties may serve as inputs to the program, outputs from the program, or both.

The following requests for changing the operating state of the process are valid:
